Nothing substantial to alleviate people's misery, says Yechury

Slamming the Union Budget, the CPI(M) general secretary on Saturday (February 1) said that it consisted of just “platitudes” and did not address the problems faced by the people.

Reacting to the Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said that it did nothing to alleviate “peoples miseries”.

Taking it to Twitter, Yechury along with a cartoon, said, “Just platitudes & slogans. Nothing substantial to alleviate peoples misery, the growing unemployment, rural wage crash, farmers distress suicides and galloping prices.”
